Not trying to hype anything and not really in a publicist mode when I say that it's very interesting to be involved in this. I'm currently at Cannes in our office, listening to movie execs, producers etc talk with our producers about what we are doing with the crowd participation thing. There's plenty of traditional films, there is a growing amount of hobbyist movies that are crowd funded, but it's great to see how we seem to be straddling that gap right now. Seems to blow some peoples' minds to realize that in the net there are people who can really collaborate with both the content and the finances of a film.

Here are some other indie films worth checking out. I just gave some money to The Cosmonaut last week.

Another piece of Cannes news, something that might interest people in here too: we are going to arrange competitions for fans and other net people to design Iron Sky merchandise. The best designs will be rewarded with money, movie tickets etc. and the will end up as a part of the official lineup - which is turn is distributed globally by EMI. http://www.ironsky.net/site/emi-to-distribute-iron-sky-merchandise-globally/

@Vornaskoti - Mark Kermode [of the BBC] gave has given it a special place in his heart and blog so - in order to reach a wider audience - you may want to head over there and throw a link so that the Radio 5 listeners could invest in it.

I'm looking forward to this like an oxygen starved Nazi is to returning to the Fatherland.

Hey, if you happen to be from around Brisbane or Sydney, the Iron Sky team will be spending the next two weeks down under.

We'll be arranging a fan investors' meeting in Brisbane but we are still looking for a location - if you know a good place for a gettogether for 20 people or so, please give us a holler in Wreckamovie.

Just finished filming the latest Iron Sky Signal which should be out next week, and doing some social media work - practically whipped Iron Sky's Tumblr and Soup.io accounts into shape. So, if you use those services, check out these:

You might know that we try and make a horrible amount of noise in the net - in case you are interested about our outposts online, here's a list of the most active places where you can follow the film project's antics.

Here's a new Iron Sky Signal. We are 40 days and 40 nights from starting to actually shoot the film, things are pretty exciting right now. Our director Timo will ramp up his (video)blogging, so there will be more or less daily Director's Diarys.
